I’m Sheikh, an engineer working in the Middle East. I travel to explore culture and see a city through a local’s eye rather than just hitting the tourist spots. I’m mostly interested in understanding how people actually live and having meaningful conversations.
I’m big into photography and usually have my camera with me, so I’m always hunting for interesting shots. If we hang out, I can definitely get some great photos of you in exchange for showing me your favorite neighborhood.
If you’re down to grab a coffee or a drink and skip the guidebook traps, let’s connect

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here for the people, not a free couch. I travel to explore culture and see a city through a local’s eye, which is something you just can't get from a hotel or a guidebook.
I’m looking to meet locals or other travelers who enjoy meaningful conversations and wandering through neighborhoods. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee, a drink, or exploring a photogenic side of town, I’m here to connect with people who actually live in the city and understand its rhythm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent an entire night hiking through a remote mountain range just to catch the first light hitting a hidden valley. I had no signal, just my camera and a map, and I arrived exactly as the sun turned everything gold. It was the perfect mix of an engineering challenge and pure, quiet adventure
